Sapphic Planet Paperback – Large Print, February 26, 2012

I enjoyed this collection of stories by Lesbians, many of whom I had not heard of before. Many were women of color, unlike a lot of anthologies I've read before. Some stories could have benefitted from editing for spelling and grammar, but mostly they were well written.I was inspired to look for more works by some of the writers. As an African American Lesbian who doesn't often see herself in literature, I was gratified by this discovery.

This collection of short stories was just what my brain needed. I've been having trouble concentrating on longer novels. That being said, normally there is at least one short story that is disappointing. I was pleasantly surprised that was not the case.The erotica was just enough to tantilze without leaving you frustrated pun intended) and makes me want to look into what other things the authors have written.The stories were definately fun without feeling pornographic

These stories are quite simply superb.Each and every story in this book is very well written, with some truly lovely characters.This is a wonderful collection written by some terrific authors. I can honestly say this is one of the best short story/erotica collections I've ever read. Some short/erotica stories are purely just sex, BDSM etc without a story. Not so with this book. Each title in this book is a nice story. The fact that they are so hot they are steaming is an added bonus. There wasn't one story I didn't like. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite, they were all so good.

The stories were all well written. I couldn't put it down. A fantastic read. The book has a story for everyone. You will love it.

I enjoyed the book, and will be buying more of her books. I have read Beth Wylde's other books as well. This is one of the best ones that I have read. I think that Beth and the other writers did a fantastic job. Please do more! :)Thanks,Tanya

This book offers something for everyone regardless of what you might like. The authors are wonderful and each provides their own flavor to the anthology. Way to go ladies!
